A US deportation plane traveled to Liberia initially. Some migrants declined to step off. They remained on board. The plane left for Equatorial Guinea on Monday, August 24, 2026. News groups checked the path. CNN, AP News, the Toronto Star, KCRA, and the Temple Daily Telegram detailed the event.
Liberia earlier agreed to take 1,200 deportees from the US. Certain individuals said no. They did not want to settle in Liberia. They refused to move. Officials then sent the flight to Equatorial Guinea as a result.
